When it comes to action movies, it’s rarely enough these days to have just one marquee star leading the way. Fans expect to see ensembles full of well-known fighters teaming up and facing off against each other, as seen in recent Hollywood franchises like Fast & Furious and The Expendables. Now Shanghai Aurora Alliance and SC Films have assembled an impressive line-up for their own upcoming film Triple Threat, which brings together Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak), Iko Uwais (The Raid: Redemption) and Tiger Chen (Man of Tai Chi) as a team of mercenaries trying to stop professional hitmen from killing a billionaire’s daughter. Directed by Jesse V. Johnson (The Package, Green Street Hooligans 2), the movie also co-stars Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White, Michael Bisping and JeeJa Yanin. Triple Threat will hit U.S. theatres sometime in 2018; check out the first trailer after the jump and see what you think.

They better not fuck this up. I miss the days when an action movie like this would get a wide release.
